CVE-2018-14847: Recovering plaintext passwords from user.dat on RouterOS v6

We reproduced the CVE-2018-14847 vulnerability on RouterOS v6, confirming that an unauthenticated attacker can read the user.dat file and recover plaintext passwords due to a weak XOR transformation. The issue is fixed in versions 6.40.8, 6.42.11, and 6.49.7, where access to the file is denied.
